RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution amending the adopted budget for fiscal year 2015- 16
SUMMARY
The Council is requested to adopt the attached resolution amending the Budget for 2015-16 for both
revenues and expenditures.
REVENUE:
Hostelry Tax revenues for the just completed fiscal year increased by 8.3% from totals received for
2013- 14 or more than $431,000. The adopted Budget for 2015-16 estimated Hostel Tax receipts of
$5 ,373,000 based upon the 2013-14 income. The attached resolution proposes adjusting the Hostelry
Tax income by $200,000 to cover new expenses.
EXPENSES:
On the expense side, following performance reviews, the Council is to consider revising the City
Attorney's contract with an accompanying salary adjustment. The annual difference between the
proposed salary outlined in the contract and the adopted budgeted amount for the current fiscal year is
$26,000.
PCG performed IT work for the City in 2013 and early 2014 and is owed $38,903.87. Information on this
contract and the amount owed is outlined in a separate Agenda Bill prepared by the City Attorney.
Stradling Yocca Carlson and Rauth, PC, performed legal services for the City. The City Attorney has
reached a proposed agreement with Stradling et al for City payment of $78,162.34 for services
rendered.
On 6 August, the City Council adopted an urgency ordinance to prohibit fires on Carmel Beach on
certain days and moving the location where fires can be ignited on authorized days 100 feet westerly.

The adopted Budget for 2015-16 contained $40,000 for private security assistance . However, the
adoption of the urgency ordinance and supplementing of private security assistance necessitates
augmentation of the Police Department's contractual services account. The proposed adjustment is for
$50,000.
Monday through Thursday, two security guards patrol the beach from 6 pm to 12 pm. On Friday
through Sunday and on state and local holidays, six security personnel patrol from 5 pm to 11 pm and
two guards from 11 pm to 6 am.
The $50,000 is an estimate which will be influenced by the following factors: 1) when the beach fire pilot
program commences; 2) the hiring and training timeline for the new position of beach patrol officer
approved as part of the 2015-16 Budget; 3) winter storm conditions.
